Answer:
Area = square centimeter
If the circumference of the hub cap would have been smaller, then its radius would have been smaller and subsequently its area would also have been less.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know the circumference of a circle is
The radius of the hub cap needs to be devised to determine the area
centimeters
Area of the hub cap =
Substituting the devised value of r in the above equation, we get -
square centimeter
If the circumference of the hub cap would have been smaller, then its radius would have been smaller and subsequently its area would also have been less.
Answer:
x = 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 secants intersecting the circle from a point outside the circle then
The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is
x(x + 14) = 6(6 + 12)
x² + 14x = 6 × 18 = 108 ( subtract 108 from both sides )
x² + 14x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form
with a = 1, b = 14 and c = - 108
Using the quadratic formula to solve for x
x = ( - b ± ) / 2a
= ( - 14 ± ) / 2
= ( - 14 ± ) / 2
= ( - 14 ± ) / 2
x = or x =
x = - 19.5 or x = 5.5 ( to 1 dec. place )
However x > 0 ⇒ x = 5.5
